Description

Come with me, or one of our guides at Tripix Azores, on an adventure-filled day hike to the top of Mount Pico in the Azores.

At 2351 metres, Mount Pico is the highest mountain in Portugal. This makes climbing it quite the achievement.

On this trip, we’ll start at around 8 am to make as much of the day as possible. The trip will last for around 7 hours, finishing at 3 pm.

The hike will be physically demanding in parts, however, along the way, you’ll be able to take in breathtaking sights.

We’ll be on hand at every step of the way to point out places of interest and give you information about the area. From the history of the Pico Islands to information about the volcano’s biodiversity, we’ll be here to tell you all about this special place**.** We’ll also be there to make sure your safety is taken care of at all times.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
